How to Make the Softest Peach Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and vanilla until slightly frothy.

Add the sugar and whisk until light and creamy. Pour in the sunflower oil and milk, mixing until smooth.

Gradually add the flour and baking powder, stirring gently until a soft batter forms.

Step 3: Prepare the Yogurt Cream

In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, egg, sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Arrange the sliced peaches over the top. Spoon the yogurt cream mixture over the peaches.

Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and scatter small pieces of cold butter on top for a rich golden finish.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Perfect Peach Cake

  • Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake soft and airy.
  • Add a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for a bakery-style look.
  • Serve slightly warm for the best melt-in-your-mouth texture.
